TO THE POLICY-HOLDERS:
Life Insurance has suddenly taken on a new importance. Every,
jjody wants it. x
This indicates that the public has begun to understand the eco
nomic value of the principle on which life insurance rests; and -it also
demonstrates the high regard in which our life companies are held.
But do you realize:
1st. That for the mere privilege of rendering this economic service our life com
panies will be taxed in 1920 (between the States and tho Federal Govern
ment) upwards of $27,000,000?
That Federal laws are purposely so framed that the use of life insurance
to protect estates is not encouraged? Immediately following "death the Fed
eral Government exacts heavy cash payments whatever the character-of the
estate? Without life insurance such payments are always .difficult and. some
times impossible?
That the proceeds of life insurance must under the Federal law be included
in the decedent's estate and taxed accordingly unless payable to named
beneficiaries; in that case such proceeds are exempt up to $40,000?
Just a word about those queries:
(1) A life insurance premium is essentially a tax, voluntarily levied.primarily for
the protection of the family but very directly for the benefit of the state.
The government, in taxing life insurance, indulges in the barbarism of taxing
a tax. It would be scarcely more unsound for the government to tax its
own income.
(2) Death Duties. can readily destroy a perfectly solvent estate unless cash can
be raised quickly. Life insurance can quickly provide cash, but the laws
limit and hinder its use.
(3) A policy taken to replace in part the value to a corporation of an exceptional
man may under the Federal Income Tax yield only 20 "to the corporation;
the government taking 80.
(4) The States also, collect heavy death duties on insurance payable to estates.
All these taxes are in addition to the $27,000,000 of taxes referred
1q in the first query ; they are economically unsound and silly. '
I speak of them because with your present keen interest in life in
surance it is time that your representatives at Washington and in your
State Capital heard from you.
THEYEAR 1919.
For the New York Life 1919 was in many respects the greatest
year in its history.
Our new-business ($531,000,000) exceeded the new business in
any previous year by nearly $200,000,000. Our new business was writ
ten exclusively on the lives of individuals who made application to the
Company and does not include, any so-called Group insurance.
Our Mortality returned to normal figures, aft6r the heavy mor
tality from influenza in 1918, which extended through the first four
months of 1919. ,
The Russian Soviet Government by decree made life insurance a
government monopoly in Russia and proceeded to liquidate the business
of all life insurance companies, both domestic and foreign. Having by
this decree assumed our liabilities the government took possession of our
property in Russia, including our investments which were chiefly railroad
bonds guaranteed by the Russian Government, and purchased with
moneys accumulated from premiums paid by Russian policy-holders.
With the concurrence of the Superintendent of Insurance of the
State of New York, approved by the Convention of Insurance Commis
sioners of the various States, we have eliminated both Russian assets and
Russian liabilities from our statement for the year 1919.
There are no material complications elsewhere in our foreign
business.
The decrease in assets at the end of 1919, by comparison with
assets at the close of 1918, is due to the elimination of the Russian busi
ness and to the fact that in the assets at the close oM918 there were
about $22,000,000 which we had borrowed to purchase Liberty Bonds.
Taking account of these items, the assets in 1919 made a normal
increase. y t
Safety funds increased during the year over $5,000,000.
On December 31 our investments in Liberty Bonds and Victory
Notes exceeded $100,000,000.
